Barney Kessel Volume 2

First cat# on cover, second on labels. Variant with yellow print on the jacket instead of, which has red print. Regardless of which color print is on the jacket, all discs were pressed by (as evidenced by the 5-point star in the dead wax). Variants with and without deep groove labels exist. The deep groove labels were contract pressings done by (denoted by an "I" in the dead wax) while the non-deep groove labels were pressed in-house at Capitol. No combination of jacket color and label variation can be considered more or less a first pressing than any other. Recorded in Los Angeles, CA, June 4, 1954 (A1, A4, B2, B3) and July 1, 1954 (A2, A3, B1, B4) [jazzdisco.org]. Copyright 1954 by Contemporary Records. Printed in U.S.A.
